MADISON, Wis.—CUES said it is expanding its talent development offerings into the nonprofit sector through TalentED, a new offering, pronounced ‘Talent-Ed’, will work with nonprofits to develop the leadership potential of their executive teams, board members, and staff.
The announcement was made during the organization’s Symposium conference in Hawaii.
“At a CUES event a few years back, CUES was approached and asked to hold a special Governance Leadership Institute for a nonprofit organization in Canada. We did so, with great success, and it made us realize two things,” said President/CEO John Pembroke. “One--nonprofits sorely need access to talent development, and two, CUES already has many of these resources readily available. That was the beginning of the TalentED initiative.”
Added Tony Covington, CUES’ VP-business development, “According to recent studies, talent development is an important differentiator in attracting and retaining top performers in the nonprofit sector, just as it is for credit unions. Seventy percent of nonprofit employees value professional development opportunities—yet 43% feel their career development needs aren't being met.”
What’s Being Offered
According to CUES, TalentED offers the following to the nonprofit sector:
- TalentED Consulting, customized talent development plans focusing on governance education, leadership development programming, talent development planning, or executive coaching
- Women in Leadership Cornell Certificate Program
- Strategy and Digital Marketing Cornell Certificate Program
“Great partnerships—like what we have with our credit union partners, are important. No one can change the world on their own,” said Covington. “We’re excited for credit unions to learn more about TalentED, and discover how TalentED can help them help the nonprofits they are passionate about.”
